The goals of this research are to examine: 1) measurements of water depths and lake depths for selected area of the Mackenzie Delta; 2) changes in lake flooding and historical lake boundaries in the Mackenzie Delta.
Specific activities for this field season include the following:
(1) Improved information on the detailed topography of the Mackenzie Delta floodplain and how delta water levels a...

2004Summary:
The Beaufort Sea shelf is very shallow and the Mackenzie River, which sends freshwater, nutrients, and particles onto the shelf, may have a large influence on its productivity. The researchers would like to study the effects of the river in transporting particles to the shelf by measuring the types of particles, how fast they sink, and how easily they are stirred from the bottom. They would also ...

Summary:
This project will establish a baseline climate-monitoring site in the perennial ice zone of the Canada Basin. Mooring carrying instruments to measure thickness of drifting perennial pack ice will be kept at Station A on the 3000-m isobath in the Canada B...

Summary:
The research will require fieldwork in the Richardson Mountains between 27 April and 8 May, 2001. Research will involve the development of a high-resolution paleoenvironmental record based on lake sediments from up to six lakes in the Richardson Mountains and the Melville Hills in the NWT. Transportation in the field for the Dempster Highway study will be by snowmobile and snowshoes. If snow cov...

The primary objectives of the project are to map the coastline of the Canadian Beaufort Sea in terms of its sensitivity to coastal erosion and monitor changes in the coastline, and to collect information on the morphology of the coast and the sediments which compose it for use in developing and calibrating predictive models of coastal change. A helicopter video survey of the coastline will be con...

The base for operations is the PCSP Base at Tuktoyaktuk. The ice measurements are made by untended instruments operating beneath the sea throughout the year. The instruments to be retrieved in March 1996 were positioned in April 1995. They will be recovered through the ice using aircraft-based logistics. The survey of water properties will be conducted at about 15 selected sites in the offshore...
